We study the system of coupled atomic and molecular condensates within the two-mode model and beyond mean-field theory (MFT). Large amplitude atom-molecule coherent oscillations are shown to be damped by the rapid growth of fluctuations…

Recent conjectures that there are mesoscopically ``large'' extra dimensions, through which gravity propagates have interesting implications for much of physics. The scenario implies gross departures from Newton's law of gravity at small…
Analysis based on the energy spectrum of noninteracting bosons shows that, under the circumstance of parallel rotation and magnetic field, charged bosons form a Bose-Einstein condensate because of the lift of the Landau level degeneracy by…
An optical speckle potential is used to investigate the static and dynamic properties of a Bose-Einstein condensate in the presence of disorder. For strong disorder the condensate is localized in the deep wells of the potential. With…
We report the Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) in the Bloch bands with off-diagonal periodic potential (ODPP), which simultaneously plays the role of spin-orbit coupling (SOC) and Zeeman field. This model can be realized using two independent…

We investigate formation of Bose-Einstein condensates under non-equilibrium conditions using numerical simulations of the three-dimensional Gross-Pitaevskii equation. For this, we set initial random weakly nonlinear excitations and the…
We have experimentally investigated the free expansion of a Bose-Einstein condensate in an array of two-dimensional traps created by a one-dimensional optical lattice. If the condensate held in a magnetic trap is loaded adiabatically into…
Using wave kinetics, we estimate the emergence time-scale of gravitating Bose-Einstein condensates/Bose stars in the kinetic regime for a general multicomponent Schr\"{o}dinger-Poisson (SP) system. We identify some effects of the diffusion…
Scattering theory traditionally deals with the asymptotic behaviour of a system far removed from the actual scattering event. Here we present an experimental study of the one-dimensional scattering of a non-interacting condensate of 87-Rb…
We consider the grand canonical thermodynamics of a noninteracting scalar field in a static spacetime. We take the nonrelativistic limit of thermodynamic quantities in a way that leaves the curved structure of the background geometry…
Open quantum systems can be systematically controlled by making changes to their environment. A well-known example is the spontaneous radiative decay of an electronically excited emitter, such as an atom or a molecule, which is…
